Okabashi is not your average shoe company! From its innovative materials to its production facility in America, Okabashi is flourishing. This week, Sara Irvani, Okabashi’s CEO, joins us on this fun insightful episode where she discusses how her family, rich in the footwear tradition, came to America and created a forward thinking shoe company. She shares her take on the current footwear market and how innovation is reshaping the business — We also talk about the current state of domestic footwear manufacturing, and how COVID helped better position the company and its vanilla smelling plant based in Beaufort, GA!
